Do you feel like hope gives you wings?
This necklace combines the symbolism of dove, associated with peace, love, hope and new beginnings, with a delightful blue flashing labradorite stone, associated with spiritual protection and inner strength.
It is a perfect gift for a loved one, or a special treat to yourself - you deserve it.
As all my items this necklace has been made in my Brisbane studio using traditional silversmithing techniques and tools.

Care:
To ensure your pieces retain their beauty and spark joy every time you wear them for years to come, they should be stored away from moisture and dust (zip-lock bags are perfect for this). Please note that it is a natural property of sterling silver to acquire a patina over time - it is completely normal and not a defect. How fast and how deep the patina develops depends on a number of factors beyond my control (humidity, dust, contact with impurities, chemicals and cleaning products - no hot tubs please!, frequency of wear, and many others).
Please avoid contact with perfumes, lotions etc. - put your jewellery AFTER applying cosmetic products - and refrain from wearing in shower or when swimming. Use soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning when necessary, then pat dry and store in a dry place, preferably out of direct sunlight. The delicate patina could be disturbed by intense rubbing and buffing so please treat your jewellery gently. Best stored in a bag or a pouch to protect it from dust and scratches, or from scratching other jewellery. As the colour of some stones can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight it is best to store it in a dark place.
Labradorite is a moderately hard stone but its internal structure can make it fragile - please protect it from hard impacts. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners or expose the stone to heat.
All my items are made with the utmost care but they are not indestructible - please treat your jewellery gently.
